Pros

They keep you busy as long as there is work to be done and as long as the customer has money to pay for you

Cons

Make sure there is work, establish a good rep with your customer or you're going to be seeing the road soon If you are good at something and no one else is, you own that something...forever, regardless of what you know, where you are going (or not going).

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
